Milk is expensive in Winter, and
even where it is plentiful enough it
may not be convenient to spare suf-
ficient to keep a calf in thrifty con-
dition. If the calf is to be raised
the milk feed may be varied by
putting one or two spoonfuls Of
linseed meal in water, and mixing it
with enough milk to give it the
right flavor. After two or three
weeks old sifted oatmeal may be
added. 1t should be given warm,
or about the temperature of new
milk. Corn meal is sure to give
calves tn" scours, but oat meal,
begun moderately and gradually. in
creased. rarely does any harm.
Calves may often be p~rofitably fed
until eight or ten weeks old, using

THE NATIONAL BANK LAW.

A Proposed Amendment Which Will Pre-

In his next report TO Congress the Comptroller
Of the Currency may include an important sue-
gestion to the effect that the national bank act be
SO amended as to prevent, under severe penalty,
the compromising by any bank of any case Of
Misrepresentation. embszzement, misappropria-
ton of funds or any thing else which now renders
any officer or employe of national bank liable

the Revised Statutes are silent on this point. and
in compilation of the various sections made by
the Comptroller OF the Currency for the guild
of national bank officers not word is said
about the subject Yet, a matter of fact, OF
fcers and employees have emhezzled funds and

stole enough to make a respectable showing by

SpeciaI to the INDIANAPOLIS journal
LONDON, Sept 18-The Gar it has always
been understood has a superstitious horror of
war. and it is to this circumstance that Prince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria owes the prolon:ation of
his reign, at least say the political gossps.
The Emperor of the Russas has been warned by
some of the modern soothsayers, upon whose
utterance he seems to place reliance that his
reign will come to an end during a war, and
he breads the beginning of hostilties. The
fate of the present Bulgarian regime may be
saie to depend upon Germany, and the existing
condition Of things will, it is believed, endure
until the meeting of the Gear and Emperor
William at Stettin, or more accurately speak
ing, until the date fixed for that meeting. for
there are strong doubts of its ever taking place.
Meanwhile. the Gear, desiring to prolong peace
as long as possible, postpones a crisis which even
his inaction cannot defer much longer. The
diplomatic agents Of Italy, Austria and England
in Bulgaria show a significant degree OF fraterni-
zation, while Turkey remains inactive TO the
point of stupidity. Decisive action by Germany
would precpitate the crisis.

Special to the Indianapolis journal
LONDON, Sept. 18.-The managers of the
Midland railway are likely to suffer for their
suspension of the block signal system on the
day Of the Doncaster races, which led to the
terrible accident involving the loss of over a
score of lives. The block system is vigorously
insisted upon by the English authorities, and
the public have been Mortified by the thought
that il is likely to be SUSPENDED the caprice of
local managers, especially days of heavy
traffic when the most need for it's protection
against accident exists The affair has caused
a great sensation. The driver of the engine of
the ex press train has not yet made statement.
He is evidently acting under instructions to be
reticent. It is said that he will claim that the
airbrakeS refused to answer to the steam
pressure. and the claim will be made that there
was ample opportunity to stop the train had the
brakes done their work properly. An attempt
will, therefore. be made to discredit the brake,
which is an American invention.

Secretary Bay ard Denies that Orders for Their
Release Have Been Issued.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1a-With regard to tho
statesments published to-day, alleging that Sec
rotary Bayard had telegraphed .'his officers" in
Alaska to release the seized sealers and tnat the
order had not been executed because the Alas
kan official was not sure of the authenticity of
the order. Secretary Bayard said tonight that
the dispatch showed its incorrectness its face.
Alaska is . part of the United States conse-
quenty the State Department has no officers
whatever there, as it has in foreign countries.
All its knowledge of Alaska affairs comes through
other departments OF the government The Sec
retary of State would give no order to an Alas
kan official nor receive information from one.
except through the head of another department.
With reference to that part of the dispatch and
of other dispatches which allege that the release
of the seized sealers had been ordered. the Sec
retary made the following explicit denial of any
knowledge of any such order:
There has been to nv knowledge, no order
issued by the President for the release of any of
the vessels seized this year, simply because we
have no knowledge of the circumstances under
which the vessels seized, and only know
that they in the hands of the court. and
therefore will be dealt with according to law.
There were three cases last year In which the
President saw fit to orderet release of vessels
seized in August, 1856, but these are the only
cases / know of in which vessels ordered
released. That occurred last year and the facts
were made public at the time"
The Secretary was somewhat annoyed by the
criticism which had been made upon his course
with regard to the fisheries question, and par
ticularly with reference to tho commission for
settlement. He said he had made proposal to
Great Britain for settlement and that
proposal had been made public some
time ago. He did not think the
mere machinery by which an agresment was
reached on the basis of his proposal of particular
Importance. He could not hasten the publi-
cation of the correspondence which had since
taken place. It would all be laid before Con-
gress in due time, and be made public, and
would show that his efforts had been to obtain
an honorable and fair settlement of the
question.
